Here are the 4 (one dress has 2 shots) bridemaid dresses that we narrowed things down to the other day. The one bridesmaid that came with me had to try on something like 20+ dresses for us to get to this point. Then my boss who came with us (with her slim figure!) modeled them for us. So, these are the "definite" choices.
By the way, I haven't picked out a color yet, but they all come in different colors, so just look more at style, not necessarly the color you see here.
Thanks for any opinions in advance.....(the last two dresses are the same one, just from a front and back view. Plus, we would get floor length, not cocktail length on that dress, it just happens to come in both styles.)
Oh yeah, and one more bit of important info, the wedding is next May (spring time).
Here's the link (hope it works!!!)

Oh sorry, the wedding is in the afternoon, the reception will be at night. I'd like it to be somewhat "formal". Thanks.

I looked at them all and I love the light green one. It would go great on just about anyone's figure and is nice and flowing. I know you said you haven't chosen the color, but that green is lucsious. Just beautiful !!

I am not too sure when your wedding is, but I think if you have the time, let all your bridemaids pick their own dress. That is what I did, they all have different dresses but in the same color and lenght, t lenght, which is about to the mid calf. And they all love their dresses and they all picked dresses that are going to look great on them. But if you are dead set on the final four you showed, go with the last one, all the others look very old fashioned like the 80's or something.

I like the last one the best! Depending on your bridesmaids figures, straps help break up the chest. Someone with broad shoulders needs something to break that up, so they don't look like a beached whale stuffed into the dress :) Also, the last one is very feminine the way it flows. The layers is also very pretty! Hope all these answers help! Another idea is to let your maids pick their own style, but stick to the same color. Then they can choose which looks best on them!

Not the first two. The first one seems too stuffy for May, and the second one is a mermaid dress...it's very hard for that dress to look good on your bridesmaids.
Between the last two, I would base it on whether all of the bridesmaids are comfortable with strapless. What do the other bridesmaids like?

I LOVE the 3rd dress and I would do the color in champagne or in yellow (reminiscent of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" Yellow-like her dress in the movie.
I think that all are pretty but to suit all bodytypes, I would do #3. Also, I think that the strapless style makes the dress more formal than the ones with the chiffon capped-sleeves.
Congratulations!

First, do you want to have your maid of honor look different? Also is the wedding at night or day?
If you want the moh to look different I would go with 3 for the her. It is fuller at the bottom so it has its own look but it goes good with picture 2. They both have a gather in the middle and they both are strapless. Once you have decided your colors make the moh's dress different then the other girls so she looks oppisote. Also make sure they don't have a fuller bottom then your dress.
Hope this helps

I think if you're going for something somewhat formal, definitely choose one that goes to the floor. Also, if your bridemaids have less than perfect figures (keep in mind that's pretty much all of us), then the first and third ones could be flattering to any figure. When I went with colors for my bridesmaids, I tried to keep it with the theme of the wedding colors (fall colors) and also I kept my bridemaids skintones in mind (They are all fair skinned and blonde hair, so chocolate looked nice on all of them).

The first and last would be the most flattering on the most body types. The second one will only look nice on a really good body. The third one is hard to tell because the color is bad.

I like the last one best. I think this will especially work great since it is a spring wedding. The style just really works for a evening spring wedding. Hope this helped!!

Before I read that you were going to go with the longer version of the dress, I decided I liked the knee length one. I think that is so cute and unique and the flowy fabric is perfect for a spring/summer wedding. You should reconsider!

I like the last one. It has a spring feel to it, and it won't compete with the wedding dress (I think! lol). The other ones are pretty, but look more formal. I guess my second choice would be the second one. It had a nice line.
